THOMAS CROSSLEY GOES TO I
QUAKEH CITV CONVENTION' TO 1
HELP PUT WILLIAM H. BERRY !
OK HOMEBODY EliSE ON THIRD
TICKET FOR GOVERNOR HE'S
l'HOXV FOR HIIIDSALL.
Prothonotary Michael J. Hanlan
will not go to the Philadelphia con
vention to help nominate William
II. Berry, John O. Sheatz, F. O. Glb
boney or "some other well known,
able man" for governor of Pennsyl
vania. Mr. Hanlan is in New York.
He went down Tuesday night, ac
companied by Landlord Thomas Gill
of White Mills, to look after some
private business in which both men
arc interested.
Judge Dirdsall was not able to
arrange his business so as to spend
two days in the Quaker City and
Monday he gave his proxy to Thomas
Crossley, who left Hawley Tuesday
night for the convention. It is not
Btated at the Main street cigar store
where the third ticket men hang
out who Mr. Crossley favors to top
the ticket. He has talked with
Berry men in Honesdale and he lias
learned what he could In advance
about the qualifications of the other
candidates.
Earl Sherwood, who signed the
little dodger that drew 10 men to the
Saturday night anti-Tener, anti
Grim meeting and who at first
thought of going to the convention,
was one of the Pinchot men in this
part of the state until the deposed
chief forester, at first supposed to
have a legal residence in Pike coun
ty, came out with the plain state
ment that he voted last time in New
Vork and that, for all he has a sum
mer place near Milford, ho cannot
call himself a Pennsylvania citizen.
For a time after Pinchot, the man
Mr. Sherwood swore up and down
could be elected, took himself off
the list of third ticket gubernatorial
possibilities, there was a little talk
about running the friend of Col.
Roosevelt and critic of President
Taft and Secretary Wilson for gov
ernor of New Vork on the Republi
can ticket. Then, at the last minute,
Col. Roosevelt asked Mr. Pinchot
to go out to California and do some
stump work for Gov. Hiram John
son, against whom a stubborn fight
is being made.
After his California speaking en
gagements had been concluded, Mr.
Pinchot started East, but only got
as far as Colorado, where, it appears,
there are more Roosevelt aspirants
for office that the Colonel thinks Mr.
Pinchot may be able to succor.
THIRD PARTV IN A ROW.
Soiled Political Linen Being Disclos
ed on Eve of Independent Con
vention. There is great need of a peace
maker among those who are taking
a prominent part in the direction of
the Independent movement, and un
less a man is found with the tact and
diplomacy to accept such an unap
preciated ofllce there is every indi
cation that tlie third party conven
tion to be held in Philadelphia to
day will have more unsatisfactory
results than the Democratic conven
tion at Allentown.
Instead of keeping the closet door
locked and the soiled political linen
hidden from view, the Sheatz inde
pendent Republicans, the Gibboney
independent Republicans, the Berry
Independent Democrats and the
United Labor independents are giv
ing vent to their political suspicions
in a free-handed manner, and as a
result each is watching the other in
stead of watching the movement.
The situation as viewed at pres
ent Indicates that O. Clarence Gib
boney will receive the independent
nomination for governor, though
heroic efforts are being made by the
Sheatz followers to stem the tide.
Guffey and Ilcrry Hute To Talk
About That Lnun.
Flat denial was made yesterday
by Colonel James M. Guffey of the
statement issued by William H. Ber
ry to the effect that the money bor
rowed by him from Mr. Guffey was
for the use in the capitol graft In
vestigation and was bo expended.
"The loan made by mo to Mr.
Berry was a personal one to be used
in his personal business affairs. The
money has never been repaid. You
will have to ascertain the amount
of the loan and the nature of the
collateral from Mr. Berry," was the
statement ho dictated.
Later Mr. Guffey added: "This
loan in no way should harm Berry
in his political aspirations."
Mr. Berry absolutely refused to
reply to Col. Guffey's denial.
" What is the amount of tho Guf
fey loan?" he was asked.
"That, too, Is a matter I do not
wish to discuss," he answerod.
Don't forget tho Board of Trade
meeting Friday night at 8.

POSSIIHL1TV OF AN EPIDEMIC.
There is nothing new about the
smallpox situation at Tanners Falls,
Dr. Ely, the county medical exami
ner, said today. The house where
Franvllle Bodle lives is quarantined
and everything is being done to keep
the disease from spreading.
"It is doubtless a case of small
pox," said Dr. Ely, who had Just
come from an operation he perform
ed with Dr. Smith of Scranton on a
River street patient whose case is
noted elsewhere in this paper.
The total number of persons vac
cinated by him, Dr. Ely said, Is 18.
The doctor has a letter from Dr.
Bennett of Starrucca in which the
latter says E. W. Hobbs, the Star
rucca patient with the disease, is
coming on nicely, though he is not
yet well.
Dr. Ely and the attending physi
cian do not want the people of Tan
ners Falls to get worked up Into a
smallpox scare. From this time on
everything will be done to keep the
disease from getting beyond the one
house where It is now, and people
should not worry themselves into
having smallpox.
CASE SETTLED ON COSTS.
Three Youths Who Tried to Lick a
Cop Pay Their Hill.
The case against the three young
men, McKenna, Watts and Sllsby,
who smashed one of Durland &
Weston's windows and who also tried
to roughhouse Policeman Levi De
groat, on Wednesday paid the costs
and got out of the mess that way.
The case was postponed three
times to give the three young men
a fair chance to raise the coin. One
report has it that their fun Sunday
morning cost them ?50. The men
that could tell won't tell.
The chief burgess and the town
counsel ugreed to the settlement
and the parties involved say they
will be more careful next time.

Hramnn Won't Let Them Snnp Sam.
Sam Reed and Leona Lord cannot
complain that they have not been
committed to the custody of a kind
hearted sheriff. Mr. Braman showed
his disposition to protect the feel
ings of his two prisoners in a strik
ing manner Monday when a reporter
for n Scranton paper tried to get
permission to have a picture of Sam
Reed taken in the jail.
The sheriff at first referred the
newspaperman to District Attorney
Simons, who said the sheriff was
boss at the Jail and could admit or
turn down a photographer as he
pleased.
The newspaperman hurried back
to the sheriff with Mr. Simons's an
swer. "I've changed my mind," said the
sheriff. "No pictures of Sam Reed
will be taken while I am running
this jail. Suppose you were Sam
Reed or suppose you were Leona
Lord? would you want your picture
scareheaded all over the country
In connection with a murder
charge?"
Sam Reed and Leona Lord have
not been photographed for any pa
per. They are not likely to be.
Mr. Lee and Mr. Kimble found
their clients in apparent good health,
but Sam Reed has been greatly de
pressed by the death of Lord.
"1 never meant to kill Slko," lie
has said again and again.
Leona Lord, It Is said, talks little,
but she has declared all along that
she knows she is being persecuted.
Her son, Millard Lord, a bright
young fellow who lias taught school
in tills county, has a good many
friends nnd they have assured him
of their sympathy and support. He
tells them that all the facts as to
tho disputed line as well ns the
whole story of the fatal fight over
the ditch will come out when tho
case comes before the jury in Octo

HIS CONFESSIONS CONTRADICT
EACH OTHER AS TO WHO WAS
PRESENT AT THE CAR-BREAKING
IN HAWLEY YARD FRIDAY
NIGHT BEFORE THE FOURTH.
Chauncey Tyler, the young fellow
from Erie bridge No. 9, just over
the Pike county line from Hawley,
who was arrested last week Wed
nesday night by County Detective
Nick Spencer and Erie Detective
Frank Kelly for helping break a
refrigerator car at Hawley from
which seven men took eight cases
and one half barrel of beer, now
says the confession before Justice
Annnerman in which he implicated
Ollie Wright and Joe Kelly along
with four others was a lie so far
as Wright and Kelly are concerned.
In two brand new confessions made
Friday and Saturday In the Jail here,
Lawyer Harmes of Hawley, who rep
resents the other two, being present,
Tyler admitted Wright and Kelly
were in no way connected with the
job.
Tyler may now bo tried for per
jury. Ills second confession was made
to Spencer and Kelly In the presence
of a third party, a friend of Nick
Spencer, who accompanied the county
detective to Hawley and was In the
cell with Spencer and Kelly all
through tlie interview. At that time
Tyler said Harry Close was the man
that broke the seal and got into the
car. He sticks to that part of the
story still. Close was thought by
Spencer and Kelly to be at Long
Eddy, but Mr. Harmes said today
that Close might not be so close, af
ter all.
Wright, who was brought before
Justice R. A. Smith at the court
house here last week Thursday, got
bail in the sum of $200 next day.
Kelly also got out on $200. Nobody
seems to want to go ball for Tyler.
His wife came to see him yesterday
and brought him clean clothes and
some cigarettes. He is a quiet fel
low and makes no trouble in the
Jail.

Police Have Already Found Two New
Alleged Victims of Dentist.
Brooklyn, N. Y., July 2S. The Brook

Bradley Keeler and the woman who

and a rather profitable one, too, until
they were arrested in Detroit, brought
back to Brooklyn and Indicted for the
larceny of $14,000 from Mrs. Wilhel
mlna E. Lynch of 24 Vernon avenue.
At first the police were Inclined to
think that Keeler's operations had
been on a small scale and that his
companion was his dupe and to a cer
tain extent his victim.
Two women one a shrinking little
woman of about fifty years and the
other a little older but pathetically for
givingconfronted tlie man in the
Adams street court yesterday. The
eldei one, Mrs. Helen Vossburg of 1001
Greene avenue picked him out of a line
of prisoners.
The other woman, Dora Schoelles of
Sea Cliff, N. Y., failed to Identify
Keeler, but three persons who accom
panied her picked the man out of a
liiu" as the one who had married her
at the residence of her brother William

work on thirty-seven elevators. This
work has been held by the American
